I will answer this time. Please make sure to add your Wizard name to questions.Example: What does your music player look like? What design can you create? That's right Wizards, you have the opportunity to come up with your own theme. Only catch is you have to design it around a music player. Music player is the furniture item you can put music scrolls in.

Hey, I would like to clarify something that was a little vague in the description, cause I don't want to get penalized or disqualified. I understand you HAVE TO HAVE the 5 items and any one of the music player ITEMS in the dorm, but I'm confused about what you mean by around and a little confused about the theme. Like you literally want us to decorate AROUND a music player? (like you want us to literally put it in the center of the room and decorate around it?) Or metaphorically, you want us to pick a music player and theme it as the music player? (like if its the pyramid music player, you want us to decorate dorm Egyptian looking and focus on that and only the look of the music player itself)? Or you want us to just put it somewhere in there, and decorate it along the theme of music in general? (so like the theme is music, and the music player is just in there) Its like I feel like the theme is so vague and if i dont fully understand the theme, it may not turn out to be what you were looking for and may not even qualify! Cause if I miss something, I'll decorate it wrong, and i need to no the limits of what you specifically want! Thx!

Example: What does your music player look like? What design can you create? That's right Wizards, you have the opportunity to come up with your own theme. Only catch is you have to design it around a music player. Music player is the furniture item you can put music scrolls in.

Okay Basically whats this means you you can take a music player and either design your dorm room around it. pretty much just like the music player looks, or you can make it metaphorically The judges are letting you have some freedom this year. Remember your paragraphs will mean a lot. The music player and items have to work into your dorm some how. We cannot hear the music. So if your basing your theme on the way your feel. You would need to make us feel that away too.

I am Jacob NightHunter again. I created a new wizard on my account so I didn't have to replace my old dorm. If I decorate the dorm on my second account (Eric NightRider) will I still be able to get the rewards on my other account if I win something?

I am a little confused about the 'designing your dorm room as a music player' thing. Do we have to use an actual music player physically placed in the dorm room (as in a furniture item that contains music scrolls) or can we use a random object and call it a "music player"? example: creating a forest themed dorm and saying a rock is a "rock shaped music player"?

I actually had to change the wording a bit many were having the same troubles. A music player is the housing item you can put scrolls into, not the scrolls themselves. There is a music player sold in WC housing shop and there are these http://www.wizard101central.com/wiki/NPC:Rose_Piper#axzz3fQZjO3bgFirst twist: Decorate your dorm to represent what you think a “Music your way” themed dorm would be like. Each dorm must be decorated with a Music Player, but which music player is up to you, just be sure to include that Music Player in your decorations! You have the freedom to be creative with your music players.

What I'm doing right now is that I'm getting a regular music player , I'll be putting it in the middle of my dorm ,......... if the scroll I chose had a specific theme I'll be decorating the dorm according to it. Am I doing it right ?

This is Jacob NightHunter. I've been decorating and my dorm is in an outdoor scene. The dorm room windows and the door don't don't make sense in the scene though. Will having windows in an outdoor scene hurt the judging score?

I have a few questions, I know all items should be found at the bazaar, but I can't find the small smoke stack at all! do you know why I can't find one or where else I can buy one? also does it just have to be those 5 items or can we add more deocor?

Small smoke stack is an outdoor item. If you click on the name of the item, in the post, it will take you to where all you can farm for the item. You also have 10 days to enter I'm sure there will be more in the bazaar

Okay, I have a question about the egg. I understand it said, "any type" but I was just wondering if you knew where the basket of eggs were. I looked it up recently, and it said you can get it in a pack.. I dont have any crowns right now, so if you know anywhere else I could get a basket of eggs for gold, please tell me.

HI this is Jacob NightHunter/Eric NightRider. When you told Eric DeathSword, "Your wizard can be shown in all the images if you choose," does that mean you don't have to have your wizard in every photo? (Except the one with your name.)

No if you look at screenshots required, you will see one that has to have your wizard with name showing is in only the one without using control G. All the other 2 don't have to have your wizard showing.

Hi I read the rules very closely and if I understand it right, for my best overall screenshot, I don't have to have all five items plus the music player in the picture as long as they are in the other pictures? would the dorm be judged on the fact that I didn't have all the items in the one picture?

If you didn't show all 5 items plus the music player in any of the other shots then I would make sure we see them in that shot. The main reason for 3 screenshots is to give you the ability to show he whole dorm. Just makes sure the shot with you name shown is no control G.

This is Jacob NightHunter/Eric NightRider. My dorm is split into three sections. Is it fine if I take a screenshot of each section, or should I try to cover two sections in one screenshot to have room for an overall screenshot?

This is Jacob NightHunter/Eric NightRider. After the description for writing paragraph 2 it says in parenthesis, "Be sure to tell the Judges how you used each of the 5 items, plus your music player and how they worked into your dorm theme and design." Is that statement describing what to put in the second paragraph, or the entire paper?

I'm just curious-If I were to win somehow, would the prizes be all within one code, or separated into multiple codes? Because I was thinking that(If i win somehow) I might give some of it to a friend. -Chase Rainwhisper

Hi it's Victoria RoseThorn, I accidentally sent my entry without being completely finished with looking things over, so i apologize in the meantime in case that's counted as 2 entries, I hope this is fine, sorry again
